Chapter 221: I Am the King's Law
"Wait!" Sure enough, with a sharp shout, a fat man squeezed out of it, well, the door opened narrowly, so ...... Although it was not a fan, the officials were still startled, and many people ran back a few steps when they heard the shouting, and when they saw that their companions did not move, they returned to the team in disagreement.
Huang Yu couldn't scold his subordinates for being useless, looked at the fat man slightly, and then snorted coldly: "Shuntianfu is here on business, who are you?" Dare to come to the way, aren't you afraid that Wang Fa will be ruthless? ”
The fat man looked like a man in charge, much more capable than the previous guy, and he sneered: "Shuntianfu came to the door of the store early in the morning to surround it, as if it had already calculated that something would happen, these scoundrels, aren't they also sent out by Lord Huang to make trouble?" ”
"What is your identity, do you need to explain to you what this official does? Don't you take your own officials seriously, and if you don't do it, when will you wait? Huang Yu gave orders in a loud voice, and the officials listened to him harshly, and they didn't dare to continue to cower, and hesitated to approach the past.
"Who dare?" Not to be outdone, the fat man snorted, and then he also showed his identity, and said: "This shop is owned by Huangzhuang, our family is the eunuch Gu Dayong of Suitang, what is the crime of coming here to seal the store and arrest people?" Lord Huang, have you eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard? Dare to commit such a great disrespectful sin! ”
He glanced at the officials disdainfully, and said, "And you, Huang Yu is crazy himself, do you also want to accompany the funeral?" ”
Gu Da used his identity to show his identity, which really scared many people, at least all the officials didn't dare to move.
Huangzhuang is the emperor's property, and everyone in the capital knows it; The emperor said that he had all the opportunities, of course, he had no time to manage these industries, and it was common sense that the eunuchs in the palace were the ones who managed on his behalf. But under normal circumstances, the people who manage the Huangzhuang are just eunuchs, and a eunuch suddenly appeared here, and it was Gu Dayong, one of the famous Eight Tigers, which was a bit scary.
Eunuchs and eunuchs are different, as long as they enter the palace, they are eunuchs, and they are a general term, not really having an official position; The eunuch is a eunuch with a high rank, and it is a eunuch with a considerable status who can be called so, and there is a world of difference between the two.
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were different from the eunuchs of other dynasties, they were used as a balancing mechanism, they not only worked in the inner palace, but more importantly, they played the role of supervising and balancing officials in political and military affairs.
Therefore, the eunuchs exercised imperial power on behalf of the emperor to a large extent, which made them even more powerful. I heard that the fat man in front of him called himself Gu Dayong, of course the officials were afraid, and they were not cabinet ministers, so of course they would be afraid in the face of imperial power.
The crowd of onlookers had a different reaction. Originally, everyone could see that today's matter was a trap set by Shuntian, and if things were to be discussed, the truth was on the side of Zhenbao Zhai, and the response of the kind guy was not the slightest bit to be picky.
Therefore, public opinion was originally biased towards Zhenbao Zhai, and many people looked at the young man with sympathetic eyes, and when those few ruffians complained crookedly, no one responded. If it weren't for the principle that the people don't fight with the officials, many people would even want to fight for grievances or something.
But Gu Da used his identity to show his identity, but the people's minds have undergone subtle changes. It is precisely because the duties of eunuchs are opposed to Wenchen, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the Tang and Song dynasties, and it is Wenchen who writes history books, not eunuchs, so naturally there will be no good words about them, let alone the public opinion led by Shilin Qingyi.
And the reputation of Huangzhuang is even worse, those knowledgeable and learned people in the neighborhood say that the Son of Heaven is already rich all over the world, why do you need such an industry as Huangzhuang? Isn't that a competition for profit with the small people? How could a holy monarch behave like this?
After listening to it, everyone pondered, it was really this reason, so when the court proposed to cancel the imperial village, the public opinion of the government and the opposition was very consistent, and they all called it a great good deed that benefited the country and the people.
Things in the world are so strange, Xie Hong was not without a response at that time, and the crows and others also worked hard, but this public opinion just can't be reversed, except for the people around Zhengde, no one has a good impression of Huangzhuang.
Correspondingly, the common people expressed dissatisfaction with the emperor's private property, but they all expressed their understanding of the officials' money, and even if they were not angry, most of them were caused by jealousy.
According to Xie Hong's guess, it is probably because of the mentality. Because of the imperial examination system, people from poor families also have a channel to become officials, although the difficulty of them passing the imperial examination is much higher than that of those who have a shady family, or those who have far-reaching origins and many helpers, but the road to heaven is there after all.
Subtly, the people regarded the scholars as the same as themselves, especially the people in the capital. In this way, when facing the emperor, whether it is the people or the scholars, they are all part-time workers. The whole world belongs to the emperor, and of course everyone else is the same, and Shilin Qingyi has always guided public opinion in this way.
The difference between scholars and the common people is just a difference in treatment, and the difference is mainly divided according to ability, even if some are under the shadow of their ancestors, others can also express their understanding, and they can only blame themselves for not being able to cast a bad baby, and envy those who are lucky.
Thousands of miles for officials are only for money, and the people understand it! What is the purpose of ten years of hard work? Isn't it to get ahead and glorify your ancestors? Don't make money, don't use power for personal gain, and after studying hard, how can the superiority of success be reflected? After making efforts, there must always be some benefits, and the people's concept is also very simple.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people, Huangzhuang is a great sin; The scholar doctor is as clear as water, the money he uses to make with power is what he should be, and it is the dividend that the boss should give, and the business of the scholar, how can it be called corruption?
And after the eunuchs and Huangzhuang are added together, even if the water of the Yellow River is poured, they will not be able to wash away their heinous sins! These villains have used the Huangzhuang to encroach on land, expropriate and extort from hired farmers, bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil deeds.
What the? Eunuchs don't rob women? That's wrong, eunuchs are born villains, they don't need a reason to do bad things, even if they have physical defects, it doesn't matter, anyway, they will always come in handy after robbing them.
Gu Da frightened the officials by revealing his identity, but it caused the audience to stir. For a while, the sounds of accusations, scolding, and curses sounded one after another, although no one dared to stand up and point at the fat man's nose and scold him, but the countless malicious eyes cast on him made Gu Dayong very uncomfortable.
"You eunuch, others are afraid of you, but the official is not afraid of you!" Huang Yu was overjoyed, this is a great opportunity! What chances? Of course, it's a chance to make a name for yourself! Gu Da is here, he already knew it, it wasn't for this fat man to be conspicuous, and this treasure was not exposed so quickly.
With preparation, there is nothing to fear. You must know that admonishing the emperor and scolding the eunuch are the only ways to fight for fame, especially in front of so many people, as long as the scolding is wonderful enough, tomorrow your name will spread all over the capital; It can be famous in Gyeonggi in three days; Within a month, even Nan Zhili will be shaken by it, what a chance!
"Recently, rumors have spread, attracting hundreds of people to stop here, it is the decree issued by the cabinet, and there is Jiuqing attached to it, and Shuntianfu was ordered to come to maintain order to avoid accidents...... This is exactly what the sage said about the idea of benevolence! ”
"As for the disputes between the Huangzhuang and these bitter masters, there are many witnesses, and it is not because the official listens to and believes it, or frames him, and does not believe it? The eyes of the people are bright, listen to the voices of the people! Huang Yu's hair was all open, but he had a bit of a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and as he spoke, he waved his hands and asked the crowd: "Is anyone willing to come out to testify?" ”
"I do!"
"Xiaomin is also willing!"
…… The crowd responded, and there was no sympathy or understanding at all. If you have different psychological tendencies, you will come to completely different conclusions when you look at the same thing.
Shuntianfu's methods are not very clever, and Huang Yu's explanation has many loopholes, but as long as a person is willing to believe something, then even if there is more evidence in front of him, he will not pay attention to it.
This is the situation at this time, the dissatisfaction and resentment against the eunuchs and the Huangzhuang turned into a yin wind, blowing all over everyone's hearts, coupled with the effect of the group, everyone stood on Huang Yu's side.
Huang Yu is also old, and his old face is very wrinkled and vicissitudes, and the people originally looked a little disgusted. But after listening to his righteous words, when I looked at it again, I felt that Lord Huang was upright, and he was a good official who was not afraid of power and asked for the people's life, and that old face seemed to be radiant, and they all applauded it.
And the young guy in the shop, although he has clear eyebrows, but since he is a subordinate of the eunuch, he may also be a little eunuch, I heard that the emperor likes this mouthful? So, even the original female dependents changed their minds at this time, and even if they had a little sympathy, they would not announce it to the public.
Gu Fatzi was not a quick and intelligent person, and his tongue was clumsy, where could he argue with Huang Yu, who was born as a Jinshi? What's more, the other party and countless onlookers cheered, and the words that I wanted to refute were also held back at once, and my face was flushed.
Seeing that he couldn't speak, Huang Yu's momentum increased, and he shouted: "All the officials obey orders, close the store and take people!" ”
"Whoa!" The majestic cheering greatly encouraged the officials, who forgot their fear of Fanzi for a while and agreed with a bang.
"Even Huangzhuang, you dare to do it, is there really no royal law?"
Originally, seeing that Gu Dayong had been shocked by his own heroic righteousness, Huang Yu was proud, but he was unaware that the young man opposite suddenly opened his mouth. His voice was still a little childish, and it seemed a little sharp, but for some reason, Huang Yu felt that there was majesty in that voice, which made him feel a little nervous.
It's a delusion, right? Huang Yu shook his head, Gu Dayong is one of the Eight Tigers, and he has the function of a eunuch in Suitang, and he was frightened under such a momentum, what can this young man who is already a little unclear in his brain do? Majestic or something, I'm afraid it's because the shouts around me are too loud, so I have an illusion, right?
He sneered and said, "Wang Fa? This official is the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the edict of the Son of Heaven, and this official is the king's law! The voice of the people is so high, this is the will of the people! There is both the royal law and the public opinion, what do you know as a little child? Take it down for this officer! ”
